Remote Release

Remote Release

Remote Release allows you to "remote release" your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device with only a USB cable.

Wi-Fi support is also present, if your camera supports Wi-Fi or you are using a go-between like the MR3040 - see further details on the DSLR Controller website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) on how to setup the Wi-Fi connection.

*** PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION ***

*** IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT COMPATIBLE THIS IS NOT MY OR THE SOFTWARES FAULT - YOUR PHONE IS MISSING NEEDED SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE ! ***

Remote releasing is using a remote control to activate the shutter of the camera. This is to prevent shaking the camera, and is often used with bulb shots and/or tripods.

This app is the little (free) brother of DSLR Controller; see http://dslrcontroller.com/ and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller

Remote Release also has a discussion thread on XDA-Developers.com: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369684

When connecting over USB:- Not rooted: Android 3.1 or higher with USB host kernel+API support **- Rooted: Android 2.3.1 or higher with USB host kernel support **- The correct USB adapter, if applicable

** USB host kernel support can usually be determined by connecting a USB stick to your device, and seeing if the device recognizes it.

- Install the application.- Connect your camera to the phone/tablet, and turn it on. Half-press the shutter button if it was already on.- If a popup comes up that offers to open Remote Release, press it, and move on to "Operation" below.- If a popup does not come up, manually start Remote Release. A Superuser popup should appear, click allow. If this took more than a few seconds, Remote Release will complain it cannot find a camera, regardless if you have one connected or not. Exit the app, half-press the shutter button on the camera, then restart the app.- If a popup appears that tells you your device is not compatible, this is the end of the line for you.

-- Operation --

After you have connected your camera and started the app, the app will show you the following:

- Auto-Focus button- Shutter button- Button to open DSLR Controller in the Market

If your lens is set to Auto-Focus and you are using a DryOS based camera, you can use the Auto-Focus button to select if focusing is triggered by pressing the shutter button. By default it is, but it is not always desired. If your lens is set to Manual-Focus, this setting has no effect.

Pressing the shutter button will take a picture on your camera. If the camera is set to bulb mode or to continuous shooting, press-and-hold the shutter button - the bulb/continuous capture will stop once you remove your finger from the screen.

Doesn't work right It connects but won't take a picture. I can change camera settings, but not release the shutter. I tried others that work better.
